Dumb question - is this a brief flash, like the video changing

Not a dumb question. The flash lasts about 1/2 second. Just long enough
for eyes to catch a Fedora blue screen, the word Fedora at the top of
the screen, and, the beginning of a menu box being written. Then the
screen blanks for 2 - 3 seconds ( I have tried to count the times off)
and finally the splash image is fully redrawn. When it loads for the
second time the Fedora name is at the bottom. I mention that in support
of your idea it may be the video changing: maybe in the first instance
the splash image is not getting drawn properly.
Another thing, this started in F8. I hadn't made the connection until
now and it just might be my frustration making invalid assumptions.
Keeping in mind I don't boot THAT often in order to always notice
exactly when the issue started. But, two or three months ago, I
installed a new motherboard switching from an ATI video card to a Nvidia
on board video chip.
It sounds like you know more about grub than I do, so I can't give you
any incisive
insight. But your comment above made me wonder if this is a video
driver issue
rather than a grub issue. Have you tried the opposite driver. i.e. if
you are using the
closed source driver for your card, try the open source driver, or vice
versa.
